Brief Answer:
Urticaria

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It's looking like urticaria an allergic reaction.
I treat such cases with oral and topical steroids.
A combination of oral prednisolone and fluticasone lotion will help you.
Take 30 mg prednisolone daily once and apply cream twice a day for 5 days.
Also take an antihistamine tablet.
You will require a prescription for this, please ask your doctor for the same.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
